Lemon Myrtle Essential Oil Certified Organic

The most powerfully lemony oil in nature. Valley of the Moon's Lemon Myrtle is a certified organic essential oil steam distilled from the leaves of Backhousia citriodora, sourced from Australia. With a citral content of up to 95%, Lemon Myrtle has a sweeter, more intensely lemony aroma than actual lemon, and is one of the most potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic oils available. Uplifting, vibrant, and deeply cleansing, it is a standout for immune support, respiratory wellness, and natural home care.
